    so, yeah. I have a Flip video camera, that records in HD. Problem is, a 5 minute video can be like a Gig is size, easily.What are you guys using to crop/trim your videos, and is it 'free' or purchased? I tried using Handbrake, but it killed the video output; looked like total ___ when it was done. It was also choppy as can be.Also, anything that can 'rotate' a video?

    Last night i got a call from a friend down the road from me asking if I would look into the error codes in a vehicle for him. So We wrote them down and I reset the codes and took a ride in the car to see if the codes return. He got on the throttle and had that little car singin' at 85 MPH and he turned to me and said I got to back out of it because of deer I seen earlier.

    the fire piston? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_piston I'm thinking about this whole thing and wondering how I can make a larger version and using a hatchet instead of your hand to ignite larger fuels. It fascinates me. How much compression do I need? How fast does it need to be? How hot does the temps get? There is a science behind this that I'm dying to know!
